Marion Marlowe Entrapped A Victim Of Professional Jealousy

A girl, as poor as a church mouse, arrives in the city from the country without a friend in the world. One night, Vandergrift, the manager of the Fern Garden Hall of Song heard her singing on the street. Enraptured by her beauty, he found her voice, too, was wonderful, and, of course, he stopped to listen. It was just before his opening and he needed a singer, inasmuch as his present prima donna, ‘Carlotta,’ was engaged to sing in the rival garden just across the street from his place. Well, to make a long story short, he made terms with this girl at once—offered her a big price for one night, thinking that the offer would dazzle her so much that she would feel too grateful to listen to any other offers. Well, he billed her that night as ‘Ila de Parloa,’ and her song was great; she was the hit of the evening. The very next morning she took her money and bolted, and Vandergrift lost track of her entirely.” Who was this mysterious beauty and where did she go? Did Vandergrift find her again or did she find employment elsewhere? 10% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charity. ============= KEYWORDS-TAGS: Marion Marlowe, Entrapment, sing, hall of song, beer garden, , accusation, accuse, Allyn, apartment, ass, astonishment, audience, beautiful, beauty, Bert, Blackwell’s, breakfast, breasts, Brookes, business, bum, buttocks, calm, Carlotta, cat, carriage, Celestials, cheeks, Chinaman, Clayte, Clayton, company, creature, cry, dead, deliberate, divan, Dollie, dreadful, dressing-room, Everett, extraordinary, false, fingers, flash, flush, furious, girl, glance, Graham, Green, handkerchief, Heaven, hideous, Hospital, house, Howard, husband, Ila de Parloa, innocent, instant, Island, Jack, jealous, kiss, lamp, laugh, laundry, Lindsay, Lindsay, lips, lucky, magnificent, man, manager, Marion, Marlowe, message, mischief, money, Moore, Nurse, opium, Oriental, perfect, performance, pussy, prisoner, property, Ralph, Ray, revolver, self-control, sharply, shriek, signorita, singer, sister, smoke, stage, sword, touch, trifle, vengeance, victim, weapon, whisper, wicked, woman, world, young, grace shirley

This landmark work of modernist literature explores the inner lives of a typical English family while vividly exploring the nature of loss and memory. Following her celebrated masterpiece Mrs. Dalloway, Virginia Woolf continues to develop her groundbreaking stream-of-consciousness technique in To the Lighthouse. Every summer, the Ramsey family returns to the Isle of Skye for a tranquil holiday, where the imposing lighthouse seems to promise everlasting constancy. But as their idyllic holiday confronts the realities of World War I, the Ramseys must also face the inescapable nature of change. A profound evocation of marriage, parenthood, aging, and grief, To the Lighthouse is regarded as one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.

When the young Mark Jordan, the son of his wife with another man, arrives, he tries even harder to retain control over the family.

How to be Idle is Tom Hodgkinson's entertaining guide to reclaiming your right to be idle. As Oscar Wilde said, doing nothing is hard work. The Protestant work ethic has most of us in its thrall, and the idlers of this world have the odds stacked against them. But here, at last, is a book that can help. From Tom Hodgkinson, editor of the Idler, comes How to be Idle, an antidote to the work-obsessed culture which puts so many obstacles between ourselves and our dreams. Hodgkinson presents us with a laid-back argument for a new contract between routine and chaos, an argument for experiencing life to the full and living in the moment. Ranging across a host of issues that may affect the modern idler - sleep, the world of work, pleasure and hedonism, relationships, bohemian living, revolution - he draws on the writings of such well-known apologists for idleness as Dr Johnson, Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson and Nietzsche. His message is clear: take control of your life and reclaim your right to be idle. 'Well written, funny and with a scholarly knowledge of the literature of laziness, it is both a book to be enjoyed at leisure and to change lives' Sunday Times 'In his life and in this book the author is 100 per cent on the side of the angels' Literary Review 'The book is so stuffed with wisdom and so stuffed with good jokes that I raced through it like a speed freak' Independent on Sunday Tom Hodgkinson is the founder and editor of The Idler and the author of How to be Idle, How to be Free, The Idle Parent and Brave Old World. In spring 2011 he founded The Idler Academy in London, a bookshop, coffeehouse and cultural centre which hosts literary events and offers courses in academic and practical subjects - from Latin to embroidery. Its motto is 'Liberty through Education'. Find out more at www.idler.co.uk.
